1st is will a 93 325is computer start a 95m3 motor?
and the second is they do make chips that will make it possible to run a m3 motor with a 325 computer right? i was told turner does this
well yea i have to get the m3 computer but i was just wondering if i could at least start the car cuz the m3 motor is already in the car waiting to be started
yes motor is in the car already and ill have to take pics of it today maybe and ill post them. ive heard that tms can convert the 325 computer with a chip to work the m3 motor

As I stated above, TMS has some kind of M3 cam chip that I've heard is usable with the 325 motor. I think the M3 cam chip only works if you actually have the M3 cams swapped into your M50 motor. That's why they call it the "M3 cam chip".
Why would you want to mix and match chips? Buy the proper one for your car. Even if it starts the motor, the ignition timing and fuel mixtures would be all screwed up.
